This stacked herb garden from a few years ago is still one of my favorite DIY’s ever and will be a beautiful addition to your outdoor patio space too!<\/em><\/p>\n Want to plant herbs this year? Consider this stacked herb garden for an easy home DIY project<\/a>! It is also a convenient and frugal way to incorporate homegrown fresh herbs into your cooking instead of buying them each week from the grocery store!<\/p>\n I’m a big fan of container gardening in general because you don’t need a ton of space and can easily move them around if more or less sun is needed.<\/p>\n Of course, you can simply plant herb gardens in a single pot, but there’s something so eye-catching and unique with this stacked pot look. The basic idea is to find 3 different sized pots to use as a tower and then to use two small-sized pots (empty paint cans work too!) upside down for height and to stabilize the planter.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t 1<\/span><\/p>\n Paint the pots (if doing this optional step) and let dry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 2<\/span><\/p>\n Start with the largest planter pot at the bottom and place an upside-down small pot on the inside.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n Add potting soil and plant the first tier of herbs around the outside of the pot. Repeat for the second and third-tier. When done, you’ll have three tiers of herbs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 4<\/span><\/p>\n On black plant markers (or paint white markers with black paint and let dry) and use a permanent white paint pen to write the names of herbs. Enjoy your fresh herb garden!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Look at how beautiful it looks when you’re all done! 😍<\/p>\n My fresh herbs lasted for almost the entire summer with normal watering – the basil and mint lasted the longest. After that, I chose to fill my pots with $10 worth of annual flowers, and I think they turned out great, too!<\/p>\n This DIY succulent wall brought our patio to life – build it in just a few steps!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This stacked herb garden from a few years ago is still one of my favorite DIY’s ever and will be … <\/p>\n
